servers which do not support the Unix extensions.

last modify time on a server modified file without invalidating the
local cached data due to an intervening readdir.

the large memory allocations that cifs does and should be a huge help to
memory pressure under stress.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
